The wand was first invented by European wizards, and today wizards throughout the wizarding world use wands to cast spells. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe short sword used by Chinese sorcerers to cast spells is essentially a type of magic wand.
As mentioned earlier, the magic-rich materials in the wizarding world are basically wood and parts of magical creatures, so wizards in Europe use them to make wands, while wizards in Asia, especially in the Far East and Southeast Asia, use another thing, metal, to make tools for unleashing magic. Metal itself rarely contains magical power, but Asian wizards use special methods to transfer the magic from magical creature parts into metal, and then use them to make magic weapons for spellcasting, although this requires a large amount of materials compared to wands.
Master Yang Xiao wants to make a 'magic weapon short sword' for the Diggory brothers, of course, the materials need to be prepared by the Diggory brothers themselves, the most important of which is the parts of powerful magical creatures, and the first thing Cedric thought of was the 'heart of the chicken, snake, and beast' that Field got last year.
During the holidays, when Field, Master Nicolame and Grandma Nice were making the Dragon Descending Wood Wand, they took out a 'Chicken Snake Beast's Heart Tendon Cord', and there are still a lot of remaining materials, which are now stored in the 'Land of Rune', they are definitely the materials that Master Yang Xiao dreamed of.
"I wrote to Sarah to send it for me. Field was also very excited.
After eating lunch in a hurry, Field ran back to the dormitory and wrote a letter, asking Xiaoxi to send it out immediately.
Looking at the books on Transfiguration borrowed from the library, the midday break passed in a blink of an eye. Field and Rolf walked into the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom with the bell ringing. By this time, Professor Lupin was already standing on the podium.
His robes were still patched, but his face was noticeably better looking than it had been on the train.
"Okay kids, good afternoon. Professor Lupin said, "Please put the books away, today we have a practical class, just bring a wand." ”
The students began to whisper that they had never taken a lab class, and even in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class that they had been most memorable last year, Professor Lockhart had only given them a second look at the vampire from afar.
"Alright, everybody follow me, we need to change places and meet a terrifying 'monster'" Professor Lupin was the first to walk out of the classroom.
Through the dark hallway on the third floor, I turned a corner and came to the end of the second corridor, where the faculty lounge and the professors usually rested.
"Please come in. Professor Lupin said, opening the door and taking a step back.
The faculty lounge was a long stretch of old chairs filled with old chairs, and the students seemed to have to walk in, and Professor Lupin closed the door behind him when he entered.
"Which one?" said Master Yang Xiao's voice in the instructor's room.
"Professor Yang Xiao, sorry, I didn't notice you here. Professor Lupin said.
"Oh, it's Professor Lupin. Master Yang Xiao walked out with a bag, "I'll take something, you're going to teach the children, right?"
"Yes, Professor, do you need help? Professor Lupin asked.
"Thanks, no, stuff doesn't weigh much. Master Yang Xiao said, "I won't bother you, goodbye." ”
Master Yang Xiao walked out of the door after saying hello, and before leaving, he also told Field not to be late for the night.
"Alright, now, all over here," Professor Lupin beckoned the students to the end of the common room. There was nothing there, only an old wardrobe, where the faculty kept their surplus robes. Professor Lupin walked over to the closet and stood still, the closet suddenly swayed and slammed against the wall.
Many students were taken aback.
"Do you know what's inside?" asked Professor Lupin with a smile.
Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know.
"There's a Boggart in there. It is a shape-shifting creature that can take on any image it thinks will frighten us the most. Boggart likes dark, enclosed spaces, such as closets, gaps under beds, cupboards under sinks, and once I came across an old clock hidden in my ancestors. This one had just moved in, and I asked Headmaster Dumbledore if they could leave it alone and give my third-year students some hands-on opportunities, and you were lucky enough to be the first ones. Professor Lupin said.
"So who's going to tell me what Boggart looks like. Professor Lupin looked around at the students below, "Mr. Rolf Scamander, you will answer." ”
"Boggart is a solitary creature, no one has ever seen him as he is, but when I release it, it immediately becomes the thing that each of us fears the most. Rolf replied.
"I would like to add that the Boggart only has the ability to shapeshift, it will not attack wizards, but it can mimic the aura of the transformed things, for example, if it turns into a fire dragon, although it will not breathe fire, but the aura emitted by the fire dragon will scare you into peeing your pants. After Professor Lupin finished speaking, many students began to snicker.
"The best thing to do when dealing with Boggart is to have a lot of people. When he sees more than two people, it gets confused. He won't know what to become. Professor Lupin turned to the closet.
"Of course, now I'm going to teach you how to deal with it alone, and the spell to repel Boggart is simple, it's "Funny Funny", everyone recite it with me. Professor Lupin said to the students.
"Funny, funny!" the students said together.
"Good, but I'll tell you that this spell alone isn't enough, it requires your willpower. What really scares Boggart off is laughter. All you have to do is force it to turn into what you think is a ridiculous image. Think about what you think is ridiculous. Professor Lupin stepped aside.
"Mr. Field Digory, you are the first to come and set an example for everyone. Professor Lupin smiled and motioned for Field to stand in front of the cupboard.
Hearing the professor call his name, Field froze visibly, he was thinking. In fact, Field was very confused at this point, he was completely unsure of what he was afraid of, maybe it was a Dementor like Harry, maybe it was a bat, or it was a snake.
Field shook his head and stood in front of the cupboard, silently thinking. "Perhaps, this time, you will know what you really fear in your heart. ”
"Bang-Bang-" The cabinet shook violently.
"Alright, everyone stand back, give way to an open space, everyone line up, step forward one by one, Field is the first. Professor Lupin motioned for everyone to stand back.
